We construct a generalized class of Joshi-Malafarina-Narayan (JMN) naked singularity spacetimes that arise as equilibrium end states of gravitational collapse with non-vanishing tangential pressure. The generalization introduces density…
Scalar--tensor theories of gravity provide a natural extension of general relativity and may predict naked singularities as alternative compact objects. In this work, we investigate a novel exact solution within the Freud--Nambu…
The Event Horizon Telescope has recently observed the images and shadows of the compact objects M87$^*$ and Sgr A$^*$ at the centres of the galaxies Messier 87 and Milky Way. This has opened up a new window in observational astronomy to…
Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW) spacetimes generalize the Schwarzschild solution to include a massless scalar field. Although suffering from naked singularities, they share the `frozen star' features of Schwarzschild black holes. Cosmological…
The Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW) spacetime can describe a naked singularity with a photon sphere that smoothly transforms into a Schwarzschild black hole. Our analysis reveals that photons, upon entering the photon sphere, converge to the…
The Janis-Newman-Winicour spacetime corresponds to a static spherically symmetric solution of Einstein equations with the energy momentum tensor of a massless quintessence field. It is understood that the spacetime describes a naked…
We analyze the causal structure of horizonless compact objects via the light-cone geometry and conformal compactification of the Joshi-Malafarina-Narayan (JMN-1) and Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW) spacetimes. Penrose diagrams reveal that JMN-1…
In this paper, we study the quasinormal modes of the generalized Joshi-Malafarina-Narayan (JMN) naked singularity spacetime using the exact Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method. Working in the complex radial plane, we construct the exact…
In this paper, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the quasinormal modes in an external geometry of the Joshi-Malafarina-Narayan (JMN-1) naked singularity by investigating its response to linear perturbations, including gravitational and…
The Janis-Newman-Winicour metric is a solution of Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to a real massless scalar field. The $\gamma$-metric is instead a vacuum solution of Einstein's gravity. These spacetimes have no horizon and possess a…
Though the cosmic censorship conjecture states that spacetime singularities must be hidden from an asymptotic observer by an event horizon, naked singularities can form as the end product of a gravitational collapse under suitable initial…
We formulate a generic Newtonian like analogous potential for static spherically symmetric general relativistic (GR) spacetime, and subsequently derived proper Newtonian like analogous potential corresponding to Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW)…
In the present paper we study the geodesic structure of the Janis-Newman-Winicour(JNW) space-time which contains a strong curvature naked singularity. This metric is an extension of the Schwarzschild geometry when a massless scalar field is…
We study here circular timelike geodesics in the Janis-Newman-Winicour and Gamma metric spacetimes which contain a strong curvature naked singularity and reduce to the Schwarzschild metric for a specific value of one of the parameters. We…
Recent Event Horizon Telescope observations of M87* and Sgr A* strongly suggests the presence of supermassive black hole at their respective cores. In this work, we use the semi-analytic Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flows (RIAF) model…
It is commonly thought that the final product of gravitational collapse is a black hole. Nevertheless, theoretical studies have not yet provided a final answer to the question whether black holes are the only possible outcome or whether…
The Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW) spacetime possesses a naked singularity, although it represents an exact particle-like solution to the Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory with a massless scalar field. Here, we investigate the possible formation of…
The general theory of relativity predicts the relativistic effect in the orbital motions of S-stars which are orbiting around our Milky-way galactic center. The post-Newtonian or higher-order approximated Schwarzschild black hole models…
The recent opening of gravitational wave astronomy has shifted the debate about black hole mimickers from a purely theoretical arena to a phenomenological one. In this respect, missing a definitive quantum gravity theory, the possibility to…
This paper explores the unique observational signatures of accretion onto a Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW) strongly naked singularity, particularly in the absence of a photon sphere. The surrounding spacetime of such a singularity exhibits…
